Good good good for you! How exciting! Question, how much weight did you loose in the pre op diet? I am going in for my 5th month weight in this coming Monday and I don't think I have lost enough weight to satify the insurance company. I have BCBS

I have not started my diet as of today, but I have lost about 13 pounds on my own.

That's great....My surgeons office submitted my paperwork on October 12 and today the insurance specialist at the surgeons office called me and told me the the Medical Director approved it and my insurance will pay 90%! I'm so excited. I go to meet with the surgeon on Wed, October 27th. to do paperwork and set a date.:)

That is awesome. Congrats!

I signed my consent forms and all appointments are done for me so I am hoping that insurance approves everything and I get a date during Thanksgiving week, due to time off work and vacation time. If not, my Plan B is during Christmas week.

Are you more excited than scared? It is a new journey and I am so ready, too.

Wish you the best.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
